name

Etymology

Referring to the homicidal activities of Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham on the television series Hannibal. Coined by fans and subsequently written into the script of the episode "...And the Woman Clothed with the Sun" as a friendly in-joke.

Definitions

  1. Synonym of Hannigram.

    • The coupling of Will and Hannibal, who are jointly referred to as ‘‘Hannigram’’ or ‘‘Murder Husbands’’ by fans, became one of the most popular pairings on online fandom epicentres such as Tumblr.
    • Hannibal, by contrast, is often rendered “attractive and sympathetic,” as Hannibal seduces the audience and Will Graham simultaneously; by the end of the show the viewer is in a ménage à trois with the murder husbands.
    • Thus, fans can fully conceptualize the murder husbands' relationship in post-fall fix-it fics.
